Testimonials:
Very satisfied with level of focus and enthusiasm that was maintained throughout the life of the project. Strong Educational / Facilitation background, meticulous attention to detail. Robert Verhey ........................
There was a good rapport between T Issues and the CMA in planning the workshop and responding to comments or suggestions. In workshop delivery the ability to actively engage participants and to have a comfortable, non-confrontational style resulted in a highly interactive workshop. Breadth of experience and local knowledge of environmental issues and personal contacts - Ability to understand the audience’s needs and how to address those needs - Knowledge of behaviour change and a good range of activities to deliver workshop content. Leanne Hanvey & Judy Christie........................
Well prepared, friendly, personable, and you were very inclusive to the participants and provided a genuinely useful resource. Justin Mowatt
........................ Years of experience – specifically that Grahame has been involved with Outcomes Hierarchy for some time. Excellent facilitation with a good range of exercises and activities for this particular group. Good pace, gentle and encouraging. Hazel Storey
........................ A high degree of professionalism was used in the conduct of the project. Under relatively problematic conditions an excellent outcome was achieved by this project and I am confident we will see an overall improvement to the quality of applications submitted to the Trust for the 2006 funding round. One of the major strengths was the prior knowledge of the Trust and the strength in facilitation skills. The facilitators were able to turn the application process around so people were aware of what reviewers would be looking form. The final evaluation report and recommendations for the future were a highly useful component of the workshops as we can immediately see how the workshops went. The recommendations provide us with an independent view on possible changes for the future that can be considered. Leah Andrews
........................ Good delivery of overall project outcomes and particularly pilot delivery in companies in the Hunter cluster. Frouke de Reuver
Great training for all of our staff, engaging, informative and fun. Paula Harrison
........................ Lots of small group work grappling with concepts was confronting (hard work with unknown people) BUT rewarding. Very enjoyable presenters and ideas. Nice bunch of participants. Participant comment ........................ Interesting session well put together and with good speakers. The content was not too "dry" and added an amount of humour in way of illustrations in the presentation. Important to attend and fun too. A good session. Workshop Participant - Investa Training ........................
The presentation style works for this workshop. Two presenters worked, but the workshop could be run effectively by one presenter as long as the basic style of presentation was maintained. Phil Smith
........................ Excellent – laid back style and a good understanding of the client’s needs. A broad and deep knowledge of the National Training Framework assessment systems. Phil Hurst
........................ High standards of customer service and expert knowledge in environmental education. Highly skilled in course design and ability to deliver building interactive processes. Stephen Waite
........................ An interest in and an understanding of men’s health issues. First rate training experience. Assessment ability to identify key issues and needs of the project. Good presentation skills – built rapport with and trust of the volunteers involved in this project effortlessly. Follow up good too. Michael Orchard
........................ Well done; an effective project. Phil Hurst ........................
